I love being a girl!

As I was blow drying my hair this morning (which is much easier when it's cold, since I have long, thick hair)I was thinking how much fun I have getting ready for the day. I have always enjoyed doing my makeup and trying new looks with it. I love dressing up and curling my hair.

But for some reason it has become "girly" (in a bad way) to like these things. I think women are so different and no we don't need a bunch of makeup to look good, but I don't think it's bad to like to be "girly." there are plenty of athletes who were pink or get sparkly before they run a race or play a volleyball tournament and so on.

All i am saying is we should embrace the "girly" and if you don't like it, don't knock the ones who do. It is just fun for us. I could sit and do my makeup and be so happy the whole time I am doing it. Us "girly" girls just like it.

Yes I completely realize I am shouting my (girly) side right now, but i don't care. :)

Talk to you later!

For Grace

About a year ago, my friend lost a baby to trisomy. You can find her story here It was heartbreaking.

I think the hardest thing was not knowing what to say. Still not knowing what to say. Just being there for a friend when she might need it. I am sure this will be one of the hardest days of there parenting lives. But I know God will comfort them and wrap them in his love.

So this day is dedicated to Grace. Grace is loved and remembered by her family and friends. She is with her heavenly father now and they will see each other again one day in heaven. But for today, Grace we remember you, and the love you brought to your parents.

I am glad to say they are expecting another baby girl, in early December.

Kim and Bobby, we love you!
